Setting Permissions to folders

karanlp

Hello,

Consider Two users "A " and "B" and two folders "A" and "B".The folder A should be accessible by user "A" alone and the subfolders(eg : A1) in "A" can be moved to main folder "B".However once the Subfolder(A1 ) has been moved to "B",The user A cannot make any changes to it nor view its properties

How do i solve this problem in Alfresco ?

Hello Karan,

I would do this with a rule that activates when a new subfolder (A1 or B1)is transferred in a folder (in your case Folder A or and applies this owner to the new subFolder.

Do you know with which API you want to develop (Java or Javascript)?

You might want also to see all the different roles Alfresco has out of the box (Permissions / Roles | Alfresco Documentation ) and if you want it just for a particular Site or cross the repository.

Hello,

I just want that a particular user can move content created by another. eg

: He can only move folders from A to B and not from B to C.The problem

which i'm having is ,if i choose the role of consumer or contributor,he

cannot move files created by himself whereas if i choose manager ,he would

be able to move every users file, which i don't want .Do i need to create

custom workflow in ACTIVITI ? . Also i do want to know whether i need to do

any type of coding for it(which i prefer not to)

Regards.

Hello,

i wanted to change permissions of a user from folder to folder . From A to

B , the user should be given the role of a contributor ,and when it goes to

B ,the user role should be changed to consumer.I just want a user to move

files from A to B .however once it goes to B,he cannot move the files,nor

make any changes,but can only view it. All these process and permissions

needs to be automated .

If you don't want to code then you could do a new role type (say Mover) that has only WriteContent permission (see documentation: Permissions / Roles | Alfresco Documentation).

You then have the following structure:

- Folder A (Manager User A , Mover User B & A )

|- Subfolder A1 (Inherit from ParentFolder)

-Folder B (Manager User B , Mover User B & A )

|-Subfolder B1 (Inherit from ParentFolder)

|-Subfolder B2 (Inherit from ParentFolder)

Then you should move the Subfolder B2 to Folder A without any issue.

Tell me if it worked

Can you provide an example with the help of images. I have no option left but to code.The example you have given seems ok but once the folder gets moved from A to B,the content can be edited by user B only.The problem which i'm facing is after moving content (from A to .The user B seems to edit it but similarly even A can edit it ,and can move content ,which should not happen .
